I gave GROK information from Devin Nunes' interview in which he said starting in 2015, and the investigation(s) of Donald Trump's potential Russia collusion, started by Hillary, forwarded by Obama, and resulting in in the Mueller Investigation, which was followed by the Ukraine whistleblower hoax, the Hunter Biden laptop investigation, and the classified documents raid at Mar A Lago. I asked Grok to provide information to help me identify select officials (i.e., to exclude Grassley, Durham, Nunes etc.) and agents who worked across multiple investigations and to provide the number of years those people worked on those investigations (Grok calls...

Bondi/Patel are actively investigating Hillary Clinton's email server, and the manner in which James Comey and the FBI investigated (or didn't investigate it). Below are the Cliff's Notes version I am using to come up to speed on what the big deal was. And yes, it does seem like a big deal. I thought I'd let it soak over night before I post it as a thread tomorrow.### Greatest Risks Involved in Hillary Clinton's Email Server MishandlingThe greatest risks from the mishandling of TOP SECRET/Special Access Program (SAP) materials on Hillary Clinton's private email server centered on potential exposure of...

Comer's House Task Force completed its investigative work during the last Administration and sent referrals to the DOJ.Senator Grassley's oversight hearings regarding the U.S. Secret Service (USSS) policies and procedures have been closed to the public. His House Oversight work emphasizing Multi-agency oversight of USSS policies is still in progress.I get the impression that Biden's DOJ/FBI investigations have left little if any evidence behind for the latest Trump Administration to work with, and so they are not investigating independently. Their work raised the issue of the shooting as a potential act of domestic terrorism.I started my search by treating all...

Utilities, state governments, and private developers are racing to roll out faster, more powerful EV chargers. At the same time, automakers and tech giants across the globe are pouring billions into R&D to develop batteries that can take ever-higher levels of power. But what if there’s a better, easier, cheaper, and more effective way to cut emissions? What if, instead of faster chargers, we pushed for SLOWER gas pumps? I want to start this conversation by pointing out that there’s a precedent for this idea. Back in 1993, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule that limited the rate...

The World Health Organization just announced what it calls an “upgrade” to its global health monitoring system — but buried in the fine print is something far more alarming.According to the WHO’s own press release, the new EIOS 2.0 platform will “identify relevant content from websites, social media, and other public sources to identify important health events.”In plain English: the WHO is giving itself permission to listen to your posts, tweets, and conversations online under the guise of “pandemic prevention.”This isn’t about viruses anymore; It’s about information control.(snip)They failed to seize national sovereignty through pandemic treaties, so now they’re coming...

TLDR Summary:Theoretically, the most obvious next step required by law for the POTUS to invoke the insurrection act in one or more cities would be to issue a formal proclamation for the rioters to disperse. If the rioters don't disperse per the deadline provided in the proclamation - Insurrection Act kicks in. If you read the following, you can see it's more complicated than that, but that's my simplified opinion after querying GROK about legal requirements for the invocation of the Insurrection Act in L.A., Chicago, and Portland.For the minimally interested, you may want to skip down to the TABLE...

REQUEST to GROK: Please provide me with a list and links for each of Tulsi Gabbard's Press releases and speeches in 2025 after she was appointed to hold office by Trump.

In America today, our two major political parties are moving in opposite directions. For Republicans, it might be the “best of times.” Under the leadership of President Donald Trump, the GOP is feeling confident. Republicans have a strong chance to retain control of the Congress in 2026 midterm elections despite the party out of power traditionally gaining many new seats. This political environment is different. President Trump has had an incredibly successful first nine months of his second term and this will help Republicans in the midterm elections. After four years of no border security under the previous administration, it...

At a recent gun show I picked up a still-in-the-box Henry Steel Lever 30-30. The gent selling it had shoulder replacement and was unloading the rifle a a good price. He said he had fired it less than 10 times. Not a mark on it. So it came home with me. My question for the group here is this - what's the 'right' leather sling for this rifle? This rifle will not see hard use - my old faithful Marlin 336R is my rifle for short range stands. It'll go in the woods in two weeks for modern firearm season....

[H/T Red Badger]SNIPIn 2016, Dr. Zervos crossed paths with Bigtree, who urged him to take on something public health had avoided for decades: a study comparing the health outcomes of vaccinated and unvaccinated children.Dr. Zervos agreed, determined to prove Bigtree and other vaccine skeptics wrong. At the time, he vowed, “Whatever the results, they get published.”SNIPDr. Zervos agreed, and the study was completed in 2020. As Bigtree anticipated, the results were devastating for the vaccinated — but there was one major problem: Dr. Zervos chose not to publish the study.In 2022, Bigtree convinced Dr. Zervos to sit down and explain...

Dear Military Veterans,In honor of the Navy's special anniversary, I would like to create a table of military service for those who served in the Navy and want to be included. Please look at part of a table below which I have provided as an example, and see what I have in mind. I'm open to suggestions, but this table is a quick way to get started.If you would like to be added to the table, have a look at the format I've created and repy on this thread to have your name added. Once I get the names, I...

The anti-Trump wall of opposition showed cracks on MSNBC when Michael Cohen predicted that the federal government will secure convictions of former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. Cohen, who served 18 months in prison before turning on President Donald Trump, his former client, upset his fellow panelists by observing that both Comey and James had politicized their offices long before they accused the White House of doing the same. “Do I believe, for example, that Tish James will be held accountable? Absolutely,” said Cohen. “Do I think James Comey will be held accountable? Absolutely.”...

Candace Owens doesn’t agree with Trump getting a Nobel Peace Prize because the people of Gaza are in danger. She said : "And Trump wants a Nobel Peace Prize, by the way. For the planned ethnic cleansing so that they could profit on land and turn it into a beach town. So let me say this. This is our never again, okay? This is a Holocaust. A Holocaust just happened. A real Holocaust just happened. We will never forget this. You need to tell your children what happened in Gaza. You can tell them exactly who did it, exactly whose...

What would it look like today if Kamala Harris had won the election? I think we all know those hostages would not be free in all likelihood. I am deeply grateful for President Trump having the forward thinking and skills necessary to be able to have these people freed - well, the ones who survived. More than that, I feel President Trump and his advisors approached this prayerfully - the BEST kind of guidance. I shudder to think what would have happened had Kamala Harris won that election.

Yesterday, I was glancing at the television at the barber shop and I saw an advertisement for the SPLC for $19/month. They will give you a T-shirt that says 'Stop Hate'. I guess the SPLC got funding cut off by DOGE... 😀 I guess I'll send them a note -- F You, SPLC.

Debate moderators repeatedly cut off Republican Lt. Gov. Winsome Earl-Sears' time short and allowed Democrat Spanberger to run over time. "You have 30 seconds" (Winsome Earl-Sears gives answer). 15 seconds pass - bell dings - "Your time is up."

Research into grape pips found from an excavated Byzantine monastery in Israel hints at the origins of the ‘mysterious’ Gaza wine and the history of grapevine cultivation in desert conditions. The pips from settlements in Israel’s Negev desert - one of which was dated to the 8th century - were likely from a white grape, and is potentially the earliest of its kind documented anywhere in the world. It is thought it could be linked to the sweet white wine - the Gaza wine - that archaeologists have seen references to in historical records, but a lack of evidence of...
